DC's announcement on Tuesday of a shift in the schedule of Supergirl, with Issue #5 now marking the end to Jeph Loeb and Ian Churchill's opening arc. However, readers were left wondering what was going to happen to the series in the meantime, and when new series writer Greg Rucka would take over.

In an interview with Newsarama, Supergirl editor Eddie Berganza revealed that Issue #6 would now take the series One Year Later with Rucka, and further explained, "[W] e are giving Ian a break, so he has time to breathe and things can settle at a more normal pace for everyone. Ed Benes will come on and do some issues.". Also, the cover previously solicited for Issue #7 will be used for Issue #6.

So, what does this mean for the future of the art duties for Supergirl, since Benes is handling the art for the forthcoming Justice League of America series with Brad Meltzer? Berganza explains, " It's Ian's book, Ed's just minding the store. Ian's is also evolving and it will be very interesting and cool to see how he and Greg will be working together."

Jump One Year Later with Supergirl #6 on March 15th, and keep reading IGN Comics for more breaking news.
